From: sdh@po.CWRU.Edu (Scott D. Heavner) Subject: /usr/preserve/Index and vi (elvis) Date: 29 Mar 1993 22:13:26 GMT
This is probably a unix question rather than a
Linux question, but if I'm in vi and hit some magic
combination of Backspace, Delete, End, Home, and Insert
(Basically, I miss the backspace and hit somewhere between
the other keys) I get an entry into a file /usr/preseve/Index.
I never had a /usr/preserve/Index file until today, I
just was trying the standard solution of "well stop doing that",
but somehow I keep hitting the right (wrong) keys. So now
I've got the directory and the index file looks like
this:
/usr/preserve/p0 /home/sdh/work/knee/src/test
and the /usr/preserve/p0 file is a copy of test.
So what good is this and if it is useful, how do I
really use it?
This is a function of elvis and not Linux, right?
